WASHINGTON — As soon-to-be members of the House of Representatives of the 118th Congress continue to cast their votes for a new speaker, Kevin McCarthy made history as the first leader of the majority party in 100 years to fall short in his speakership bid on the first ballot.
One thing was certain: the House cannot proceed with any business until the process is done and a new speaker takes charge.
The House completed three rounds of voting without a winner on Tuesday before voting adjourned until noon ET Wednesday.
